When the Prom Queen becomes your fairy godmother…
Sixteen year old outsider, Jess Parker, gets the chance of a lifetime: an invitation to join a secret society of popular girls dedicated to defeating the mean girls of the world. The Cinderella Society guides all new recruits through its top secret ultimate life makeover. It’s all part of preparing them to face down the Wickeds and win. Determined not to let the Cindys down, Jess dives in with a passion. Finally, a chance to belong and show the world what she’s made of.
… be careful what you wish for.
Jess’s transformation wins her the heart of her dream crush and a shot at uber-popularity. Until the Wickeds–led by Jess’s arch enemy–begin targeting innocent girls in their war against the Cindys, and Jess discovers the real force behind her exclusive society. It’s a high stakes battle of good vs. evil, and the Cindys in power need Jess on special assignment. When the mission threatens to destroy her dream life come true, Jess is forced to choose between living a fairy tale and honoring the Sisterhood… and herself.

The Cinderella Society was a lot of fun to read. It was super girly, but if you couldn't tell that from the cover - well, you picked the wrong book.
I loved the Cindys - they were a fun bunch, and I loved watching all of them interact. Not one of them was the same. I wished we had gotten to see more into the heads of the Wickeds, though - they were fun to read about (who doesn't love an evil chick?) but they weren't fleshed out enough.
Jessica annoyed me a little bit - I can't stand boy obsessed girls, so the fact that that was a good quarter of the book got on my nerves. But the writing was good enough that I didn't want to put it down. I wanted to see what happened next!
QUOTABILITY FACTOR!
The pin felt warm in my pocket, like it was trying to send me a message. Believe, it seemed to say. To which I responded: I am the person here, you are a piece of metal. Hush it.
Overall Rating & Final Comments: 7/10. Annoying main character, but interesting principal and good writing.
Cover Notes: Cute! Girly! Love it!
